The 10 Most Shocking Celebrity Makeovers of 2013

From Jennifer Lawrence's pixie cut to Jennifer Aniston's asymmetrical bob, these 10 celebrities surprised us all with their hair transformations in 2013.

From Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Connelly's bobs to Jennifer Hudson and Jennifer Lawrence's crops (was there some sort of edict that people named Jennifer cut their hair this year?), this was the year that long, flowing tresses were left on the cutting-room floor. For other celebs, the transformation was more about color. No matter what the change, these are the ladies whose locks had us talking in 2013.

Jennifer Lawrence

It was the chop heard 'round the world when America's current sweetheart embarked on The Hunger Games: Catching Fire press tour with a newly-shorn pixie cut.

Beyoncé

It's hard to keep up with Queen Bey's many hairstyles from 2013. After revealing a new crop on Instagram in August, Beyoncé continued to play with the length of her hair. Later that month, she showed off a fierce long, angled bob at a concert.

Jennifer Aniston

Ever since she made history with "the Rachel" during the early seasons of Friends, Jennifer Aniston's hair has been a matter of national importance. The actress debuted an asymmetrical bob in early November, having toldELLE UK a Brazilian treatment that ravaged her hair was the impetus for the cut.

Jennifer Hudson

The actress and singer started going progressively shorter this summer, easing into the shallow end with a long, angled bob. By October, she was ready for the dramatic reveal of her new edgy crop.

Kim Kardashian

After welcoming daughter North West in June, Kim Kardashian went off the radar to spend time with her new baby for a few months. When she made her big post-baby debut, something was noticeably different: Kim was now a bonafide blonde.

Pamela Anderson

First, she shocked everyone by cutting off her signature long, blonde, Baywatch locks. Then, Pamela Anderson went brunette. She definitely wins the award for the most dramatic transformation this year.

Kate Middleton

As one REDBOOK editor put it when we mentioned Kate's darker, layered 'do would be making this list: "But she didn't really do anything to it." Except when you're talking about Kate Middleton, dying or cutting just one follicle is the equivalent of Meryl Streep stepping out with neon dreadlocks. Sure enough, the duchess's move to a darker shade of brown was enough to make international headlines.

Jennifer Connelly

"I hesitated for about 15 years! I've always had long hair," Jennifer Connelly told REDBOOK in October when we asked about her new asymmetrical bob. No worries, Jenn, it looks awesome.

Reese Witherspoon

While it's not the most dramatic makeover on this list, Reese Witherspoon's platinum-blonde razored new look makes the cut because it's a departure from the actress's more traditional, classic style.

Elisabeth Moss

Ever the hair color chameleon, Mad Men star Elisabeth Moss had a brief Miley moment with a platinum crop before returning to her brunette roots.
